Why the Eagles trading for Deshaun Watson would be a mistake

The Eagles are not trading for Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson.

Let’s get the formalities out of the way right now. The rumor, relayed by CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora, has morphed into a full-blown discussion point by an Eagles fanbase who knows their team is going to be sitting out free agency this off-season and is desperate for their team to make one of their traditional splashes.

Do not discount the Philadelphia Eagles as a strong suitor for Deshaun Watson. Too many sources with ties to ownership have whispered that sentiment my way for me to ignore.
